What is a Neighbourhood Forum?
Neighbourhood planning legislation, introduced
by the Government under the Localism Act,
gives communities direct power to develop a
shared vision for their neighbourhood, to shape
its development and growth, and to establish
general planning policies for the development
and use of land in the neighbourhood area.
These are described legally as ‘Neighbourhood
Development Plans’.

What is the Neighbourhood Plan? A shared vision that has
emerged over nearly 10 years of consultation with Marina
residents, workers and elected representatives who joined
BMNF to establish general planning policies for the
development and use of land in Brighton Marina
(the Neighbourhood Area).
It isn’t a planning application. The Neighbourhood Plan
contains guidelines that developers and the Council must
take into consideration in future planning applications for
development within Brighton Marina.​​​​​​​​​
